Massachusetts experiences some stretches of excessively warm, muggy days in the summertime. That kind of weather forces refrigerators to work harder and makes them more vulnerable to breaking down. Keeping the coils clean and allowing for plenty of ventilation around the appliance helps. Nevertheless, as the appliance ages, one day it will require refrigerator repair in Shrewsbury MA.
Although all refrigerators and freezers generally work on the same principle of action, manufacturers may place certain components in different places. A technician providing professional refrigerator repair in Shrewsbury MA is familiar with the various brands and where the parts are located. There’s no searching around to find the component causing the problem, which makes the process more efficient.
Summertime Issues
Summer tends to be the time when people are opening and closing the refrigerator and freezer doors more frequently too. They want to get cold soft drinks and beer. They may keep bottled water in the refrigerator. They grab ice cubes from trays, and freeze cooler ice packs so they can safely transport food for a camping trip or to the cabin. Ice cream and ice pops are favorite foods at this time of year. All of this activity means the appliance has to run more frequently and for longer periods to keep the temperatures matching the thermostat setting.
Insufficient Cooling
Refrigerators and freezers may stop keeping the foods and beverages cool enough. The milk goes sour sooner and ice cream is always a bit soft. This can make the household residents worry whether foods and beverages in the appliance are safe to eat if they are stored for any length of time.
Leaks
Another problem develops when the defrost drain becomes blocked with dust balls and pet hair. That can result in a water leak onto the floor.
Ice Maker Malfunctions
One of the most common problems with refrigerators is the ice maker not working. In fact, this component may quit before the refrigerator’s warranty has ended, in which case the repair work should be completed for free by a company such as JM Appliance Service.
